Howdy Sergev!

One problem is your choice of platforms. ;-) Windows is not as well supported 
as other platforms. For example, there is currently no fortran DLL available 
for windows. For fortran programming you might consider installing Cygwin on 
your computer and working under its Linux-like environment.

C DLLs are now available. Try these:
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf_dlls_vs.zip

You must have the HDF5 DLLs installed for these to work.

For more about netCDF, see the netCDF tutorial:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-tutorial.html

There are also many tools that work with netCDF files, which don't require any 
programming. Try the NCO tools, for example.

Good luck!
